Joe and I were talking about how we likely would have done, well, nothing, for St. Patrick's Day, if we didn't have kids. Instead, we celebrated it quite a bit. It started at 6:30 this morning when Jia came into our bedroom and excitedly said, "I wonder what the leprechaun did downstairs!" A classmate's parent had talked with her class about celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. She apparently said that mischievous leprechauns mess up the house and leave gold for the kids. So, we told Jia it was too early to get up and then this leprechaun flew downstairs, threw raffia all over and left some Sacajawea gold coins on the table. Phew!
We also made some Blarney stones to kiss for good luck:
We ate a breakfast of green eggs, green smoothie and shamrock pancakes.
The girls sported green clothes:
Including a shamrock scarf.
They also danced a jig!
The day was beautiful (in the 70's!) and we spent it outdoors. We are feeling lucky today and hope you are as well!

Cute ideas!! Lexie wasn't too much into St. Patrick's Day. I couldn't even get her to wear green! I did get our dogs to wear some green scarves!
